The halfling pulls a rope from his pack and starts making some loops and knots. He begins tying one end to a boulder and another to Lobo. He looks to Unrack. The pup is pretty strong…
The halfling moves over to the stonedoors. While waiting for the rogue to also come lend a hand, he gives it an inspection. Perception
The ranger whips out his CLWs wand and starts sending healing magic into Lobo and himself. Lobo CLWs 4 charges 92 out of 97 hps Delnin 4 more charges for 8 total, 78 hps for Delnin
Delnin first takes stock of injuries on Lobo and himself. The ranger then takes a moment to move forward and collect arrows. He also studies the downed body of the demon, looking for weak points in the physiology of the accursed form.
Round 4 The halfling is still not feeling his best. He takes a 5' step forward and fires arrows at the baddie in the far corner of the room. He even impresses himself with his precise shooting around his comrades. Over the years he has surely improved his precise shooting. Ranged attack

Will save The ranger grits his teeth as he eats the damage and tries to keep it down.

Rapid Shot attack

Will Save
Delnin gives a worried look at Unrak
The ranger quickly starts moving. He feels the familiar buzzing energetic feeling of the Haste enchantment. Delnin buttonhooks to the right of the doorway and hugs the wall. He curses under his breath as he starts to raise his bow but realizes he hasn't brought Lobo out from his mini stone form. With hasted speed he sets the small wolf on the floor and whispers the command.
"Cold iron for demons. Silver for devils. These are demons." The ranger gives a nod.
The halfling casts Long Strider to help make up for his short legs. He very quietly whispers to Tess (and the group) if we encounter these Baboon Demons should I use cold iron or alchemical silver arrows? Before venturing forward, he slips into the shadows w/ strung bow and arrow ready. Stealth
The halflfing doesnt like thinking about how low his Will save is, but then be remembers his “halflfing luck’ and decides it should be fine.
Due to Lobo’s size, the ranger also uses a spell of Carry Companion on the wolf. The halfling has little trouble with stealth
Delnin advises he is comfortable with Stealth, perhaps he and Gozrek can lead the way. Gozrek for traps and Delnin to help watch his back.
Delnin is pretty confident of his stealth abilities and being able to shoot in the dark. But he looks to the Duke to see how they will proceed
The looks at the ring, but shakes his head, I dont need it. But Evasion is powerful. Im sure someone here could use it.
Delnin starts to be impressed by the impressive power of the druid. But then he puts his mind back to more practical matters. Like what meal would Taranis enjoy after his commune with nature…. He makes a mental note to ask the brother what the druid would like to eat The halfling does some hunting and scouting in the immediate areas. He also talks to some local craftsmen and/or carpenter about building some bee boxes.
The halfling hopes that such an expensive piece of equipment will be worth the gold. While he isnt a greedy person he does think of the lovely ingredients he could buy and the amazing food he could cook with such money…
Delnin has spent some time in swamps and marshy areas. Swarms can be deadly, he looks for some alchemical supplies.
While Delnin had enjoyed getting to know how things worked behind the scenes, this was the action he had been waiting for. Looking for trouble in the wilds was what he was waiting for.
The halfling is quite impressed by the level of organization. When he was part of the BellFlower network he only dealt with a small group at a time.
Hail Awegrym, honorary Redleaf and Swordlord. The halfling gives another slight bow. He isnt sure if the man is joking or not but he figures he should play along for the moment.
I can only reach about that high… he holds one hand up in the air. But Ill do my best. The halfling is a little awkward on his delivery of the joke. He lacks the charismatic charm of most small folk
Delnin smiled and nodded. He was glad his hunch about her was correct. He rode out with her shortly after.
At Tess’s introduction the halfling takes a step forward. He gives a slight bow Hail and well met. Ive heard there is a need for people to stand against bandits and savagery in these lands. I served many years as a guide in the BellFlower Network. Im sure I could do good work here as well. He holds well made looking bow almost as tall as he is. Delnin wears leathers and a furry vest. His cloak is a shade of green that looks as if it has been stained with various shades of brown dirt or mud. The overall effect creating a mottled camouflage.
Im going to call my partner in. Dont freak out. At a sharp whistle a massive wolf ambles into camp. Delnin tosses him the leftover quail. The beast’s jaws open and snap shut with terrifying efficiency.
The halfling doesnt seem to upset about her lack appetite. Though his face turns to wonder and a little horror at the thought of not needing or wanting to eat…
Where do you head on this road? He asks Tess. By the time he has his considerable cook kit cleaned and packed up, he speaks again. When I said I was a guide, that was truth. But not really the whole picture. I helped escaped slaves from Cheliax to the free lands of Andora. Yet, when Cheliax finally abolished slavery, I somewhat lost my purpose.
Unless she stops him, he comes a little bit closer and gives a slight bow. I am called Delnin SureShot. Im a ranger and on a bit of a wander. He quickly starts prepping a fire and food. Its very clear that he has done this many times before. Soon there is a fire going with three birds roasting. He is stirring a pan in flames with mushrooms and a few greens. Some good luck this morning with these fresh mushrooms. They are called “chicken of the woods”. Odd name, but they are a favorite of mine. He even has some cornmeal batter baking on a flat rock on the side of the coals. While Delnin is polite and friendly, he says little. Prof Cook The halfling smiles and looks pleased with the meal. On a bit of cloth he sets out a roasted quail, some fried mushroom and greens mixture, and a hunk of cornbread. Im afraid I dont have any butter, but here is a crock a good honey… He sets down the small honey crock and gestures for her to eat. He moves back a few feet to an identically laid cloth and begins eating his own quail and mushrooms.
The halfling was happy to find his quarry so quickly. From a good distance he dismounted and told Lobo stay
The halfling curses slightly as he checks her cold camp. A summoned horse, I knew there was the hint of magic about her... At that Delnin gives a high pitched whistle and shortly a large, shaggy canine trots into the clearing. The great wolf has a light leather saddle with a bag slung over. The ranger does have a few magical tricks up his sleeve and pulls one out now. A quick spell to make Lobo's long stride into a mile eating gait. He gives the beast a few loving pets and scratches behind the ear. Speaking in halfling to the wolf Lets see if we can catch her, follow that strange smelling horse!
The next day Delnin started with checking over his gear and taking stock in his supplies. He lingered a little longer looking through his food stuffs and what he could make for a meal... Finally, he realized he was seeing if he could make something a little extra special for a second person. There was something about the woman he saw last night. He didn't think it was a physical attraction, he generally preferred his ladies much shorter and rounder. But there was something. Maybe a sense of power and purpose? He wasnt sure but he decided he would follow and hopefully meet her later today for a meal. Now to find something good for a meal. Survival A little luck from Chaldira! Now with some fresh ingredients prepped and bagged, the ranger starts after the woman from last night. Tracking
Stealth The halfling watches the woman go about her business around the campfire. He doesnt like it when she rings the bell. that seems too much like a ritual, I dont like it. . He wracks his brain for a moment trying to remember if he knew of any religious rituals that seemed similar. …cant think of any… Delnin watches a bit longer and is pretty satisfied she is alone. He creeps back to a small burrow like camp he found earlier. Some sticks and a big heap of pine needles makes a decent bed. Maybe tomorrow Ill make contact
He saw the fire light in the distance. Taking his time he crept forward. One thing people often get wrong about moving silently is that people can move silently with speed. This is almost impossible in a wooded area at night. Sometimes elves can do it but they almost always cheat and use magic…
Delnin would sit and watch for a while. |
